WHAT WERE YOUR HONEST THOUGHTS WHEN YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS PROJECT?

"I saw last year's juniors struggle through this project so I was very nervous about it for that reason."

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST THAT YOU LISTENED TO?

“Larry Carlton. When I was listening to his music I felt like Remy from Ratatouille when he is tasting cheese and a strawberry together and has a visual explosion of flavor.”

WHAT WAS YOUR PROCESS FOR CREATING YOUR POSTERS (IN TERMS THAT US NON-GRAPHIC DESIGN STUDENTS CAN UNDERSTAND)?

“My process work is up on my blog (new-slang.tumblr.com)”

OF YOUR POSTERS, WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE?

“Joshua Redman. That was the poster that I developed the most of my visual language and kit of parts.”

WHERE ARE YOU HOPING YOUR CAREER WILL GO AFTER KCAI?
"Chicago!"
WHERE CAN WE FIND YOUR WORK?
